Hi Dan, 

***url stats... At chebucto we looking at options to provide more 
information to IP's. Because we're now allowing IP's to run cgi scripts 
from their IP directories, one option is just to dump the data into their 
directory each night in some standard format and allow them to manipulate 
it to their hearts content... we'd probably provide a couple basic 
functions similar but likely with some additional functionality as 
building block material...

***quotas... from the 'quotaon' man page,

1) `quotaon` announces to  the system that disk quotas should be 
enabled on one or more file systems. The file system quota files must be 
present in the root directory  of the  specified  file system and be named 
quota.user for userquota or quota.group for groupquota.

`quotaoff` <snip>

2) OPTIONS `quotaon  -a`  All file systems in /etc/fstab marked 
read-write with quotas will have their quotas turned on.  This is normally 
used at boot time to enable quotas.

Looks like: 

a) you need to make sure /etc/fstab knows you want quotas on 
that disk/file system and..,

b) you need to have set a quota for a user on that file-system using 
`edquota $USER` (this should create the 'quota.user' file I think)

c) and then... (I'm hoping I've got the order right...) you need to 
explicitly turn quotas on for that file system..

If I've mislead you in this I'm sure someone will jump in... ;-)

the basic man pages to check are:  quota, quotaon, quotacheck, fstab. 

The quota man pages refers to: quotactl (2), fstab (5), 
edquota (8), quotacheck (8), quotaon (8), repquota (8)

Good luck!
